Hello,
I could get little info from this 2005 thread:

Maybe someone have something to add? I am interested in the last mission flown by Alfredo Barbieri, died February 18, 1916.
A flight of 10 Caproni bombers was intercepted over Lubjana by austro-hungarian Fokker monoplanes. No idea of how many bombers were shot down, but for sure some italian was killed, along with Barbieri.
The mission resulted in Italy holding for a while long range bombing mission over enemy territory.
Thanks!
